Are the Himalayan glaciers retreating ?

From the aforementioned discussion and the results of the present study it can be inferred that the number and rate of glacier retreat have come down in the last decade compared to the results of other studies carried out for a period prior to 2001.

The results of the present study indicate that most of the glaciers were in a steady state compared to the results of other studies carried out for the period prior to 2001. This period of monitoring almost corresponds to hiatus in global warming in the last decade. It may happen that an interval of one decade could be smaller than the response time of glaciers to be reflected in terms of any significant change with 23.5 m spatial resolution of data. This point requires further studies using high resolution data for a longer interval of time.

Local greens chant objectives without reflecting upon the numerous consequences of such. This is an articulated promise the greens adopt and repeat, however, it is an empty promise. Examine current climate science, solar physics and current state of the green promise.
